My old Chevy Finally Gave Out...

[stumpjumper05]

Well, my old truck finally bit the dust last week, so looks like I'm in the market for something else. Notice I said something else, not something new lol. I'm thinking about maybe going for a Jeep or Toyota. Mid 90's model. Cherokee, Wrangler, 4Runner, pickup. It doesn't matter. I have a company truck for work, all I really use my personal truck for is to go to the camp and back, so I'm not looking for anything fancy. Just thought I'd throw it out here and see if anyone had anything for sale or knew where something might be.

I've got my eyes on an 02 4runner 130k miles on it... real clean.. Anyone had any experience with them? I expect it's reliable since it's a Yota, but never owned a 4Runner before...

Buy that Toyota and put another 130k on it. I have owned several yotas because I got tired of working on the Fords that I owned previously. I have not been disappointed yet. If you ask enough people you will find somebody who will praise or hate almost any make of vehicle. I have never owned a 4 runner, but would not hesitate to buy one if a good one came along. Seems like I remember slab hunter having to keep a jeep in the shop a lot before he bought his GMC.

Well I'm one step closer to getting that Yota! Just sold my busted Silverado for a few hundred bucks to go towards a down payment. Hopefully have my old wrecked Ranger sold tomorrow for a few hundred more... then If I can sell my Jeep Motor I'll be set
